Cisco EPA-GE/FE-BBRD

The Cisco EPA-GE/FE-BBRD is a network interface module designed for Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Switches. It stands for Enhanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) Line Card with GE/FE (Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet) and Built-in Bridge Rectifier (BBRD). This module provides PoE capabilities to the switch, allowing it to deliver power to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras. The built-in bridge rectifier helps to protect the switch from power surges and fluctuations. The EPA-GE/FE-BBRD module supports both Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections, providing flexibility in connecting various devices with different network speeds. It is a hot-swappable module, meaning it can be inserted or removed from the switch without disrupting the network operation.
